Please can you extract all your HiJack this files to a permanent folder (i.e. C:\HJT). This ensures backups are saved and accessible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then post a new log. BTW not desktop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is your AVG up-to-date? if not then update it and scan it in safemode.

have you ran your avg? and has your destop been hijacked? that line is like the smithfraud.c (infact the cslid is, as for the filename thats random)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojpuperg.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

run your avg then run these to double check if it is the smitfraud.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kaspersky OnLine Scan or if that doesnt work, you can use TrendMicro or BitDefender. (Please post the results of the scan(s) in your next reply)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+++++

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are unable to run the activeX Antivirus Scanners, lets try this Java based solution from Trend Micro.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

does your desktop look like this by any chance?

D'OH! I was afraid of that :roll: ok nvm then i knew it was a bad idea telling you the bad line sooo early....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if it was the smitfraudc you need a fix for the reg on top of that....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok post a new log and the scan results so we can see what else still needs to be fixed :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*edit* ok still post a new hjt and the scan logs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i got a bad feeling this might take a bit longer than planned....

uh...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wish I knew it was this simple..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SpyAxe didnt intend for this..

 

 

 

They've put up uninstallers, and well they do what they say, unintall it :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I believe it all over now

you might wanna see if you have any updates to do- it shouldn't of gone into ur comp in the first place. least your desktop didn't get hijacked fully if it did it would of been a real pain to remove.
